Nov 21, 2011Once again Drake shines. This is a unique album and though it's not as good as the first one it stands out by itself.................................
-
Dec 14, 2011I'm not the typical Drake or Young Money fan, but Take Care is phenomenal. From start to finish Drake shows his different styles; Slow/Soothing R&B (Doing It Wrong) to Fast Rap (The Motto). This album is very unique. Stop hating on Drake because he is not your regular rapper. Maybe this isn't the greatest Rap, per say, but it is fantastic MUSIC, and that's what matters, not the genre.
-
Nov 20, 2011A well-crafted, elegant collection of songs that are meant to be listened to more than once to truly appreciate their textured layers. More than anything - it is a CD to be played while driving through the city alone...almost like a soundtrack to the soul. A classic.
-
Nov 23, 2011Has there ever been a rapper as charismatic as Drake? In some sense, the phenomenal success of his platinum debut, Thank Me Later, is just one more testament to how much people like the guy.
-
Nov 24, 2011Do you know what's more magical in these record? When you get into it, you REALLY get into it.
Take Care is an album made to be heard with patience and attention, because once you discover how beautiful he is, you'll be amazed. Favorites: Over My Dead Body, Headlines, Take Care, Make Me Proud, Cameras, The Real Her, The Practice. -

Nov 5, 2012nice album.. but needs to start back rappin more.. the world aint end yet so u still got time prove these **** wrong!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Nov 19, 2013Rapping is as weak as ever, WAYYYY too much singing, and too long of an album. Quality is still good tho. If he made the album shorter i would probably give him a 7. 6.5/10
-
Dec 8, 2013Take Care is Drake's best project in my opinion. He comes out strong with lyricism in his sophomore album. His delivery is strong and his singing in songs like "Marvin's Room", "Doing It Wrong" and "Practice" I don't think Drake can release a better project than Take Care, but he almost did with "Nothing Was The Same"

Nov 16, 2011One of the best albums I've ever heard. Drake really shows his skills and potential on Take Care. Haters gonna hate because it doesn't have as much rapping as thank me later, but the r&b adds a soothing feel to the album. Personal favorites are Over My Dead Body, Take Care, Headlines, and Lord Knows.
-
Nov 16, 2011Im not a Drake stan in anway, but to deny this album is nothing but brilliant would be idiotic. When was this album ever labelled as purely rap, anyone hating on the RnB elements has never heard Drake before is just looking for an excuse to hate. Why are you listening to his second album if you feel so negatively towards him? Just admit you like him already, this album is incredible.
-
Nov 22, 2011One of the best rap album of the year. It reminds me of Kanye West's My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy. Take Care is well produced, great songwriting, and a lengthy album, which I like. Good job Drake.

Nov 15, 2011This is definitely the best album of 2011. Each and every song combines some sort of emotion and the beats are just too amazing to even describe. The only set back is one awkward verse from nicki minaj in make me proud or else this is the perfect album. Everyone should buy this album for sure
-
Nov 16, 2011This album is unique. To some it will be the start of something great. To other like myself it is just another album. Nothing to special here, skip this one and go for Blue Slide Park.
-
Nov 16, 2011Stop hating!
You guy's who says that Drake is the worst rapper, have you even heard other rappers. And I mean Sou lja Boy, is he really better than Drake? Certainly not. It's so many rappers who sucks right now...
We have so many bad rapper's, and I know it. Listen to the other rappers and then comment...
Drake= Do pest.. I love this album, Do Right And Kill Everything! OVO -
Nov 17, 2011Amazing CD. Great job Drake! I don't even know what to say. Pure art, pure magic, pure amazing. It's got a little bit of everything in there. It's a little different, and it definitely is not a pure rap CD, there is alot of R&B in it, but he pulls it off with class and style.
-
Nov 17, 2011This album is a classic OVOXO take care. There are several good songs on this album that represent the city that he is from and it is very special in its own way. This is because he has unique features that drive Drake's style into a new and more evolved direction. Who says change is bad?
-
Nov 17, 2011This is a phenomenal job done by rapper Drake. Great blend of hip-hop & R&B. The standouts of the album are "Look What You've Done", "Lord Knows", "Cameras", "Over My Dead Body", and "We'll Be Fine" This is definitely in my Top 3 hip-hop albums of the year.

Nov 15, 2011Just bought the album today. You can tell Drizzy put a LOT OF WORK into this album. A well deserved 10/10! Haters can hate all they want. Album of the Year Nominee for sure.
-
Nov 15, 2011The album is great. Front to back, not a boring song. Drake takes you through his journey of how he reacts around people with his new fame. Also, Drake holds no words and goes after other rappers and critics who make fun of him for being soft.
-

-
Nov 15, 2011This album is an instant classic Lord Knows and Look What You've Done will go down in history. He starts strong with Over My Dead body and on a light-hearted note with The Motto. He has a string of guests who all make the album all the better. This is definitely the best album of 2011.
-
Nov 15, 2011good album one of the best this year..you cannot front this is a great album..even the bonus cuts on this album prove to be one of his best works to date..............................................

Dec 10, 2013Drake really show his true potential in this album. This is the perfect follow-up to Thank Me Later as he is showing the world his various singing styles from his hardcore rap in Lord Knows to his soft singing in Marvin's. Room. Thumbs up!
-
Mar 24, 2017In 2011 Drake delivered his first classic known as "Take Care." The album is nostalgic, introspective, and beautifully put together. Drake has a way of putting into words thoughts and feelings that many people have a difficult time describing. This project is very cohesive and takes the listener on a fantastic journey.

Nov 16, 2011I wanted a rap album and instead got an R&B Album. There are a few tracks I acknowledge as pretty good such as Shot For Me, Over My Dead Body, Lord Knows, The Motto, and Headlines, but most of it is singing, and I wanted a rap album. It shouldn't be classified as rap. Album was average in my opinion.
-
Nov 4, 2012Quite frankly, I will never understand the hype and praise behind 'Take Care'. It's just another album, plain and simple. Or really, another album with overproduction that is a cross between hip-hop/R&B (woo, how different and original) by an untalented hack who uses autotune to no end that calls himself an artist. Yeah, this is quite an album alright.
-
Dec 6, 2011Pathetic excuse for a record. I gave it multiple chances. The fact that THIS is what's at the apex of popularity tells us that society collectively has a terrible, unrefined taste in music.

Apr 28, 2013One of the most overrated album of all time, I don't how people can call this "music", a rapper that is more feminine than Nicki Minaj, the best word to describe this "albm" is trash, straight up.
-
Apr 20, 2015Most overrated album of all-time. It's not even rap, he makes pop and r&b music. Plus, all he does is cry and whine over his ex, he doesn't talk about anything interesting, his lyrics are very simple, he can't even tell a story.

Nov 20, 2011While this album does have some good songs, such as "Headlines" and "Practice," it has too many songs that are either just too boring or go on for too long. Drake has definitely stepped it up here better than his previous album but he still has some work to do before he becomes one of the better rappers out today.

Jan 12, 2012Despite the discussion about the original music style in this album, whether is Hip-Hop or R&B, no one can deny the result has its greatness. The lyrics have a story behind it, and it's very far personal and unique. His "Headlines" and "Take Care" tracks are really masterpieces, and it stands out of the others. Drake might be starting a shinny carrier, in which styles he chooses to continues on.

Dec 29, 2011Album was AWESOME Very Talented Artist it made me like Drake more when thank me later dropped i was impressed but not as impressed as i was with this project. BEST PROJECT YET.
BEST 4 Tracks:
Crew Love (ft The Weeknd)
Shot For Me
Lord Knows (Ft Rick Ross)
Hate Sleeping Alone -
Jan 5, 2012If you can get past the egotism and the R&B choruses, Drake's new album is nothing short of cutting-edge and an honest memoir about the clashing lifestyles of fame.

Mar 31, 2013In my opinion Drakes best album so far! The highlights of the album would definalty be The Motto, Take Care, Hate Sleeping Alone, Marvins Room and Crew Love!
-
Jul 13, 2012This Album From Hip Hop prince, Drake is Different. Different in a way where he experiences with euphoric beats and deep meaning in rapping lyrical style. He puts together airy songs of hip hop and R&B together so perfectly that i could listen to the album forever

Aug 16, 2013One of the best rap albums I have bought. Drake only disappoints on a few songs. The best songs are "Over My Dead Body", "Headlines", and "Take Care".
-
Feb 24, 2014Better than illmatic Better than the black album. Better than enter the 36. This album is a masterpiece and will never be topped. Long Live Drake.

May 8, 2014One of the best hip hop cds, and I consider it so, the last 5 years. You can listen to this album over and over and the production just keeps sucking you back in, sounding fresh. Drake sounds very good in the setting he helps create. It has a touch of soul, pop, r&b, hip hop that fuses together so well. Drake will most likely never make as good a record as Take Care. Classic
-
May 15, 2014This is my Favorite drake album the great thing about this album is the production the beats for in well with the songs as they flow through the album the down side to this album is when you get half way though it, it starts to feel dry the verses arnt as good, the lyrics are poor not much substance but all up not a bad album if your into Main Street rap you'll like it.. 6.9/10

Mar 7, 2015My favorite Drake release to date, this is a huge improvement on his debut Thank Me Later (which was still a good album). His songs are more "real" (more heartfelt and emotional), and the album as a whole is more cohesive than TML. Awesome album
-
Mar 10, 2015This album is hot! Slower tempo than most but it's very soothing! Drake is a lyrical genius and his true talent and emotions really show on this album. Each song depicts a telling story by incorporating insane beats, clever lyrical placement and impressive vocals.
-
Mar 10, 2015Drake's sophomore album is great. To get features such as Andre 3000 and Stevie Wonder to compliment Drake's lyricism and soulfulness is amazing. The voice of The Weeknd and various features from Wayne, Ross, Rihanna, and Nicki, place this album on another level. I highly encourage fans of hip hop, R&B, pop, and rap alike to purchase this album.

May 22, 2021The Grammy award-winning album is worth every second. This album cemented that Drake has longevity in the game of Rap. By listening to this album you get a real look inside of Drake's life. This album is still very much relevant years after its release.

Aug 22, 2018Honestly this is Drake's great masterpiece and I'm still obsessing with it 7 years later. This was the first of its kind and it hit a damn homerun. One of my favourite albums of all time, damn
-
Jan 20, 2017Amazing album. Well produced and Drake combines rapping and singing really well here. Hands down his best album to date, this should be easily considered a classic. It a shame that after the follow up he appears to have lost his spark.
